But There Aren’t Enough Article Topics To Reach
My Target Market

Recently a subscriber asked me about how she could continue
to publish articles on her website if there weren’t enough
topics to write about.

Here’s her question:
“ Alice, you talk about adding articles to your websites
on a frequent basis and I understand the benefits like search
engine rankings and so fort... ”"Alice, you talk about
adding articles to your websites on a frequent basis and I
understand the benefits like search engine rankings and so
forth.
However, I cannot come up with enough topics to sell my
product. There just aren't that many things to write about."

And here’s my answer:

When you started Internet Marketing, you were probably
told to be specific about your target market and define
whom you’re marketing to. That was great advice. If you
sell a product, you want to market it to a specific target
market.
Let’s say you sell a product that shows parents how to potty
train their child. Your target market for your product is
parents of toddlers who are trying to potty train their child.

You can help promote your product by publishing potty
training articles to draw in highly-targeted prospects for
your highly-targeted product.

But there’s a problem - that’s a very narrow window to
grasp the right prospect for your product. You have to
reach them right when they are ready to potty train their
child and convince them to buy your product.

Why limit yourself like this?
Article marketing is an inexpensive venture and can
dramatically increase your pool of leads. It can even
help you increase your bottom line by adding new streams
of income.
If you sell a potty training product and you want to market
with content – go WIDER.
For the purposes of article marketing, you have the wider
market of parents and there is NO shortage of article topics
to reach parents.
Parents need help with their kids, no matter what age they
are. And a funny thing happens with parents – they often
have more kids and know other people with kids.

So, if you can start targeting parents in general with your
wide variety of articles you can do the following:- Build
your mailing lists- Gain the trust of your prospects and
sell them your product when the timing is right for them.-

Sell other relevant products through affiliate programs-
Add extra income by using content-targeted ads like
Google Adsense.So, please…if you think there is a shortage
of topics you can write up, just start to think wider…no
matter what product you sell.
